Greetings all. I'm looking for any information (clues, tips, etc.) about the current whereabouts of a pair of B-29 Superfortress cockpit sections that have disappeared from the public eye in recent years. Specifically, I'm on the hunt for the cockpit of S/N 42-65401 - formerly located in Stockton, California, as well as a mystery B-29 cockpit that I've been told was once located in Texas (I've attached a picture of that example that was supplied to me by Nick Veronico).
I contacted Mr. Taigh Ramey, #42-65401's former owner, several years ago. He informed me that the remains of the aircraft had been sold to an anonymous buyer (perhaps foreign) and subsequently restored, but that he had signed an NDA that prevented him from revealing anymore information to me.
Does anyone know where these cockpits are now? Any information would be appreciated.
